There is now provided a polyol composition contang a polyol having polyester linkages, an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic C4-C7 hydrocarbon blowing agent, and a polyoxyalkylene polyether monool initiated with a C8-C28 fatty hydrocarbon having one alkylene oxide active hydrogen atom. We have found that the monool emulsifies the C4-C7 blowing agent in the compound having polyester linkages, to form an emulsified polyol composition, after which an organic aromatic isocyanate may be reacted with the emulsified polyol composition to form a closed cell polyurethane foam-
The polyol composition is used to make rigid closed cell polyisocyanate based foams which are dimensionally stable, and have good insulation values and flame retardance. Combining the monool with the polyester based polyol produces a foam having a density lower than that of a reference foam made with the same ingredients and amounts except In the absence of the monool. Whether the monool is merely mixed with the polyol or used to form an emulsion with the hydrocarbon blowing agent and the polyol, the foam density may be lowered when the monool is used.
现在提供了一种多元醇组合物,它包含具有聚酯链节的多元醇、脂肪族或环脂族 C4-C7 烃发泡剂以及由具有一个氧化亚烷基活性氢原子的 C8-C28 脂肪烃引发的聚氧亚烷基聚醚单醇。我们发现,单醇可乳化具有聚酯链节的化合物中的 C4-C7 发泡剂,形成乳化多元醇组合物,然后有机芳香族
异氰酸酯可与乳化多元醇组合物反应,形成闭孔聚
氨酯泡沫塑料。
多元醇组合物用于制造硬质闭孔聚
异氰酸酯泡沫塑料,这种泡沫塑料尺寸稳定,具有良好的绝缘性和阻燃性。将一元醇与聚酯基多元醇混合可产生一种泡沫塑料,其密度低于用相同成分和用量(不含一元醇除外)制成的参考泡沫塑料。无论一元醇只是与多元醇混合,还是用于与碳氢化合物发泡剂和多元醇形成乳液,在使用一元醇时,泡沫密度都会降低。
